# OpenAI

## Profile
AI frontier lab; creator of [[entity-product-chatgpt|ChatGPT]] and the GPT model series.

## Role in the Source
OpenAI has publicly announced aims for:
- **AI research intern by 2026**
- **Fully automated AI researcher by 2028**

These targets align frontier-lab strategy with the [[concept-karpathy-loop|Karpathy Loop]] paradigm — recursive auto-research as a core pursuit.

## Significance
Alongside [[entity-org-anthropic-d4|Anthropic]] and [[entity-demis-hassabis|Demis Hassabis]] (Google DeepMind), OpenAI's roadmap confirms self-improvement loops are a primary pursuit for **all major AI labs**.
